Best MLB moneyline bets for August 25

5) Toronto Blue Jays: -175

The Blue Jays are a good pick today (imagn)

The Toronto Blue Jays have not been good this year. However, they've been much better of late, at 6-4 in their last 10 and a three-game win streak. They just happen to be matched up with the Los Angeles Angels today, and that makes them a good bet.

4) Chicago Cubs: -170

The Cubs are a great pick today (imagn)

The Chicago Cubs are exactly .500 right now, so they're not really good or bad. In the last 10 games, they've been slightly better at 6-4. They've also won three in a row and have the good fortune of facing the Miami Marlins. That alone makes them a good pick to win.

---

3) Atlanta Braves: -162

Pick the Braves to beat the Nationals (Imagn)

The Atlanta Braves are turning a corner. They're 7-3 in their last 10 and have won three games in a row. Their opponent, the struggling Washington Nationals, is the biggest reason they're one of today's best picks. These are games they should and do win, so make the pick with confidence today.

2) New York Yankees (Safest pick of the day): -290

Pick the Yankees to win (imagn)

The New York Yankees were likely a safe pick yesterday as well and they lost. However, that makes them even more likely to win today. A series loss at home to the Colorado Rockies would be unfathomable, and the offense (five runs in two games) should break out today.

---

1) Cincinnati Reds (Bold Prediction of the day): -108

Pick the Reds to win (imagn)

The Cincinnati Reds are today's bold prediction. Their odds aren't overwhelmingly strong that they're going to defeat the Pittsburgh Pirates, though neither team has been great lately. The Pirates have been one game better in the last 10, which makes the Reds the bold pick in this matchup.
